About Me
I'm a mother of 3 (one boy, two girls), and wife to a pretty great guy. I'm an avid reader and I plan to spend my retirement years in the library. You could attach these labels to me as well: dreamer, singer, worrier, foodie, recovering perfectionist, and all around goof-ball. I can have a wicked sense of humor and I hit the delete button often.
As a former designer, I now teach classes in interior decorating when I'm not writing about it. After years of writing curriculum, and a variety of magazine articles, I now focus my attention on writing about anything to do with home and garden, lifestyle, family—all the good stuff. And I'm addicted to my blog.
When I'm not tapping away at my computer keyboard, I'm letting Cooper out (over and over again) and picking up and dropping off my girls from school (over and over again). Do you see a pattern here?
